Patriots’ Path Council <strong>Camp</strong>ing Policies<br />
The complete Patriots’ Path Council <strong>Camp</strong>ing Policies document can be found on our website at<br />
http://www.camps.ppbsa.org/files/<strong>Camp</strong>ing_Policies.pdf. The remainder of this section of the leader’s guide highlights<br />
some key information and policies that pertain to summer camp.<br />
Accountability/Unauthorized Person in <strong>Camp</strong><br />
If you see anyone who appears to be an unauthorized person, or anyone without a wristband, please notify a staff member<br />
immediately.<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> Facilities Policies<br />
• There is a $50 per hour maintenance repair fee for malicious damage to camp facilities or equipment.<br />
• There is only one (1) campfire (must use fire ring) per site, if allowed by camp ranger.<br />
• Please be environmentally conscious and pick up any trash you find in camp.<br />
• Be aware of ticks, bees, bats and bears. Notify camp staff members of any strange acting nocturnal animals.<br />
• Keep shower houses and bathrooms clean.<br />
Leave No Trace<br />
"Leave No Trace" is a nationally recognized outdoor skills and ethics education program. The Boy Scouts of America is<br />
committed to this program. The principles of Leave No Trace are not rules; they are guidelines to follow at all times.<br />
The Leave No Trace principles might not seem important at first glance, but their value is apparent when considering the<br />
combined effects of millions of outdoor visitors. One poorly located campsite or campfire is of little significance, but<br />
thousands of such instances seriously degrade the outdoor experience for all. Leaving no trace is everyone's<br />
responsibility.<br />
Lost and Found<br />
All Patriots’ Path Council camps will hold any items that are found in camp for a period one week; medications; food;<br />
perishables will be destroyed immediately. Articles may be retrieved by claiming the item in person at the camp office<br />
during the camp season. Any item not claimed within that period will be discarded.<br />
Pets in <strong>Camp</strong><br />
The Boy Scouts of America does not permit pets at camp. Please leave them at home with a caregiver. Individuals bringing<br />
pets will be asked to remove them from camp property.<br />
Private and Off Limits Areas<br />
Some of our buildings and camp areas are off limits to Scouts and leaders. Please respect the privacy of our staff and avoid<br />
their living quarters. Please do not enter any program areas without staff present. Off limits areas include:<br />
• Behind the rifle, shotgun and archery ranges<br />
• Staff lounge<br />
• Doll House<br />
• The barn<br />
• Ranger’s shed<br />
• Generator shack<br />
• Other staff living quarters<br />
• When hiking or camping off camp property, please do not trespass or use private property. Many of the state<br />
hiking trails and waterways are bordered by private property. Our voyageurs are acquainted with the sites that<br />
are available for public use.<br />
